Re: A new years resolution - painting challenge

@Echunia
Ehm, well actually most of my painted stuff (the archers and the bolt thrower) were painted before we started this challenge, so actually during this challenge I've painted a white lion and the noble (and assemble few archers and all the white lions). So I think I really will need all the time = D
Thanks for the compliments regarding the cloak! Well yeah it does kinda look bit wood-elvish, but as the idea/fluff behind my army that they are kinda forgotten/lost civilisation of high elves left behind to the forests of empire, so they do look bit more like wood elf when compared to your basic high elf. And that would be doubly true with this ranger noble, as he is truly a man(elf?) of the woods.

@Roostmanuva
Thanks!

@The Lost Hobbit
Thank you!

And well no pictures this time around either.. I think next time I will be putting up my own stuff will be when I finish the white lion unit, and well it may take some time.. Unless of course if you want pictures from the minis from different angles ect. Feel free to ask!

I see, so you might say he's a... lumber jack?

Oh, I also wanted to compliment you on the wonderful pelt on the white lion. The black spots really make it look like real fur! It really makes the model distinct, I think. Great work on all the gems as well! I can't imagine painting that on every model xD

@ The Lost Hobbit, Student, mdiscala, Roostmanuva
Thank you very much, I'm now painting 21 archers, hoping to get them finished tomorrow. After them only Screaming Skull Catapult left : 0

@ Cragum, Echunia
First I do a basecoat of dwarf bronze, then add thick layers of hawk turqoise, then thin layers of watered down hawk turqoise/goblin green mix then I add some dheneb stone aswell to the mix and do thin layers of it, sometimes stippling with the brush.

Normal rust to Iron is quite easy to do with just layers of watered down browns and oranges, sometimes mixing them together.

Re: A new years resolution - painting challenge

@Morkyerme: Have you considered 'borrowing' some spare heads from your friends armies to add to your screaming skull catapult? They used to have that heads of the enemy upgrade. I thought that might be quite cool for a campaign . The painting looks fantastic especially en masse!
